What you can expect

  • Enjoy entrance to all attractions within Edinburgh Castle and discover the city’s most iconic monument with this self-guided audio tour.

    Edinburgh Castle dominates Scotland's capital city from its great volcanic summit. The storey of the Castle has helped shape the nation's history: battles and sieges were fought over it, royalty lived and died within its walls, and countless generations have been inspired by it.

    Learn about the many Scottish monarchs it has sheltered, including Queen Margaret (later St Margaret), who died here in 1093, and Mary Queen of Scots, who gave birth to James VI in the Royal Palace in 1566.

    Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of medieval royal intrigues and feel like a participant in historical events in a place where time has stopped.
